Saucer Summer Tour Part 3


 Friday, June 1, 2012 -  Sunday, June 3, 2012
Today was a short driving day.  We only had about 3 hrs in the van to get to Uncle Harold and Aunt Joyce’s in Pensacola, FL.  It was great to spend some time with them over the weekend!!  We had sandwiches and chips at the house with Uncle Harold when we arrived.  After lunch we settled in the living room and Mommy and Daddy took a nap while Uncle Harold headed out to pick up his grandson, Riley from day care.  We were very excited to meet him and later to see his mom, Heather!!  It was a very relaxing weekend just hanging out.  I really got homesick for living near Uncle Harold and Aunt Joyce and as we spend more time in Florida I miss living here more and more. 

The boys had a BLAST!!  They get spoiled every time we visit Uncle Harold and Aunt Joyce.  They spend all of Saturday playing the back yard kiddy pool and sprinklers with Rachael!!  On Sunday, Uncle Harold took all 3 boys to Denny’s for breakfast by himself.  He said Eddie ate 2 full kids meals and must have a hallow leg!!  They stopped at the park on their way home and Joey had his regular encounter with ANTS!!  He stepped in an ant hill and got tons of bites on his foot!!  Aunt Joyce fixed him up at the house while Mommy and Daddy loaded the van to get on the road.  We stopped by Heather and Todd’s on our way through Milton.  Their house is very close to the bay so Mommy spent some time with Riley while the rest of the crew walked to the end of the road to see the bay.  Eddie got in BIG trouble there as he decided to throw Joey into the Bay for a better view!!  We got everyone cleaned up and disciplined and were back on the road.  Then it was off to Orlando for more FUN!!  We got to our hotel for a late dinner at the Texas Roadhouse across the parking lot and then it was time for bed.

ARRRRR!! Ahoy Matey!

I am long over due in this post as it's been 2 weeks ago already!! We took Alan's best buddy Aidan and his family on the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise to celebrate all our August birthdays this year. The cruise was a BLAST!! It's family oriented and jam packed with activities for the kids. They start off in the red circle on the main deck for a safety talk about running and all the normal safety stuff. Then they give them all squirt guns and anyone on the main deck is fair game for the water gun fight. Then they have the kids swab the deck with child size mops. Then they take them into the dungeon to tell them a story about a treasure buried at sea. When they come up from the dungeon we all have to look for the "X" bouy. Then one of the pirate crew gets them all lined up with a rope and they have to pull the chest up out of the water. Everyone gets some of the treasure to take home. One of the last activities was getting pirate tatoos. Here is Alan aka Captain

Daniel's Surgery

It's 1:30am and been a very long day. Daniel's surgery was pushed back quite a bit today and we are just getting home from the hospital. The doctor gave us some neat pictures and I hope to get them along with all the details added to this post in the very near future. Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. WARNING WARNING WARNING the following pictures are not for those of you with weak stomachs!!! Here is his Gall Bladder (everything here is normal) This next picture was explained with some big words. My teaching background kicked in so I rephrased what the doctor was telling me in words I could understand and he said I was understanding correctly. This is Daniel's colon an it should be able to move freely, but there is a spider web kind of forming around it trapping it. The doctor was able to cut it free. Here is Daniel's small intestine. It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein
